[Verse 1]
(G) I was wandering, (D) lost in the night,
(Em) Chains of my past, (C) holding on so tight,
(G) But mercy called, (D) broke through the fear,
(Em) Now grace has spoken, (C) His voice is clear.
[Chorus]
(C) Fortitude with Jesus, (G) I stand strong,
(D) Justified, my heart (Em) sings a new song,
(C) No condemnation, (G) I’m free at last,
(D) In His love, (Em) my fears are past.
[Verse 2]
(G) From the valley, (D) He called my name,
(Em) Washed in His blood, (C) I’ll never be the same,
(G) Dressed in righteousness, (D) wrapped in grace,
(Em) Heaven’s promise, (C) my resting place.
[Chorus]
(C) Fortitude with Jesus, (G) I stand strong,
(D) Justified, my heart (Em) sings a new song,
(C) No condemnation, (G) I’m free at last,
(D) In His love, (Em) my fears are past.
[Bridge]
(Am) No power of hell, (G) no scheme of man,
(D) Can pull me from His mighty hand,
(Em) He is my rock, my firm foundation!
(Am) I lift my eyes, (G) my faith is sure,
(D) In His presence, I am secure!
(Em) I’m redeemed! I’m restored!
[Final Chorus]
(C) Fortitude with Jesus, (G) I stand strong,
(D) Justified, my heart (Em) sings a new song,
(C) No condemnation, (G) I’m free at last,
(D) In His love, (Em) my fears are past.
(Repeat & fade out with worshipful ad-libs)
[Outro]
(G) Thankful for grace, (D) I lift my hands,
(Em) In awe of His love, (C) my heart understands.
(G) With every blessing, (D) with every tear,
(Em) I’ve found my hope, (C) my purpose is clear.
(C) Fortitude with Jesus, (G) forever I’ll sing,
(D) In His arms, (Em) I’ve found everything.
